  • "How Shani cooked for 80 people with soul nourishing food is beyond just a talent it’s a passion. Everyone, with every need, restriction and allergy, was satiated with the whole spectrum of nutrition needed to dance the night away. Her knowledge of food, herbs and drink as medicine comes through in her recipes. Thank you Shani for your care in catering."

Shani brings reverence to our relationship with food; her conscious creative approach to cuisine is not only soulfully nourishing, it is also profoundly inspiring. We know food gives us energy; Shani’s healing food is supercharged. Beyond the exquisite flavours combined, digestion is a dream. I have never felt more at ease in my gut or more nourished in my being than when I am eating meals prepared so lovingly by Shani. Having Shani cater our retreats, takes everyone’s experience to the next level. Extraordinary!"
